The RIAA Sues 482 More People
An anonymous reader writes "Today the RIAA said they have sued another group of people, 482 to be exact, for copyright infringement. The RIAA used their 'John Doe' litigation process in this round of law suits, because they do not know the names of the copyright infringers. After appeals court ruled that Verizon does not have to provide names of customers to the RIAA, the RIAA started using the 'John Doe' litigation process."

Lets get those pirates who are stealing Britney Spear's music!
Maybe we can SUE good taste into them...
In the future, I would want to not be isolated from my friends in the Space Station.
I feel sorry for this John Doe character, he's always getting picked on.
Hasn't got jack about the new lawsuits. Can anyone get a list of what IPs are being sued?
And in lesser news, thank god for dynamic IP addresses...

I wonder when they'll ever figure out that suing your consumers is not an effective business model?
When SCO files for bankruptcy.
Judge:
Bailiff, remand Mr. Doe into custody. Mr. Doe, how do you plead?
Bailiff:
Judge, the defendant has failed to appear.
Judge:
Issue an arrest warrant in Mr. Doe's name.
Case dismissed.
RIAA:
Doh!
"When we come across a user who is distributing copyrighted music files, we download copyrighted music files (of our member companies) the user is offering, as well as document the date and time that we downloaded those files."
Isn't this illegal? Someone over at the RIAA is in a lot of trouble.
im sure the Fine print on the letters Read
"ALL YOUR DRUM & BASS ARE BELONG TO US"
We prefer copyright challenged.
3 years ago the economy went to shit...
3 years ago CD sales went down....
Think that's a coincidence.
Didn't we tell you that piracy would destroy the economy?

Sco is too suing it's customers. Autozone, Daimer Chrysler, who knows who's next.
The parent was supposed to be funny. The only way to get to the music industry is a massive boycott - as in, get 50% of consumers to stop buying music altogether until this nonsense stops. And since CDs are shiny, that's not likely to happen.
In other news, the RIAA announced they're now succesfully suing a John Doe every week.
'Im sick of it. I wish they'd pick on somebody else' said an annoyed Mr Doe earlier today.

For some odd reason this joke reminded me of the fact Creed is calling it quits. I've been having a rather poor day and you reminded me that hope survives. Thank you.

Not all laws are to be respected. Civil disobedience is an acceptable way to bring about change.

Pirates are such nice people. =)
Creed breaking up: proof that there is a god
As a Canadian reading this thread, I wonder, is everyone in the US a lawyer? Why so much suing going on?
